GROWING CROPS OF 
Dr. R. E. Culbertson, Special¬ 
ist in Pyrethrum Crop Produc¬ 
tion and Experimentation 
It is easy to grow, and one 
planting will last at least as 
long as seven years. It may be 
plowed up any time. Pyreth¬ 
rum Flowers of the Ciner- 
ariaefolium variety are used in 
making many insect powders 
and sprays, such as Ever 
Green, Red Arrow, and a 
hundred others. Enormous 
quantities are used and most 
of it—about 92 pe cent—has 
been imported from Japan. 
Why not have our farmers 
grow this important crop for 
our needs? 
Why not try 3, 5, or 10
